Abstract BACKGROUND
A debilitating neurological disorder that affects numerous individuals worldwide is chronic migraine. It impacts daily functioning, often accompanied by severe and disabling pain. Among the multiple factors complicating its management, sleep disturbances are notably prevalent, which can worsen the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks. In the migraine population, however, nothing is known about the precise relationship between pain severity and “Sleep Quality” (SQ). Exploring this relationship can provide valuable insights for better managing chronic migraine symptoms.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study is to find the correlation between sleep quality and pain intensity in chronic migraine population.
METHODOLOGY
This study was conducted with 30 participants diagnosed with chronic migraine, over a 4- week period. Using inclusion along with exclusion criteria, subjects were recruited. The “Visual Analog Scale” (VAS) had been employed to measure “Pain Intensity” (PI), and the “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index” (PSQl) had been employed to determine SQ. Pearson's correlation (PC) coefficient (or Spearman's rank correlation (SRC) for non-normal data) was employed to evaluate the data to evaluate strength and direction of association between PI and SQ.
RESULT
This study showed strong positive correlation between SQ and PI in chronic migraine population.
CONCLUSION
According to the study's findings, those with chronic migraines experience more severe pain as their sleep quality declines.
